S EPT. 20--One of our Journals of to-day Can , , tains, under date Vienna, the: 12th instant, the . lowing article The Putticite is one of those French Journals which frequently make very rash observations, upon the state of this country.. The correspondents of that Paper, who appear very acquainted with the affairs of Austria, speak with great animosity of the, Archduke Charles. ' This' Prince, notwithstanding, is of all the Princes 'Of his House, he who made his charatler most esteemed, before the breaking out of the present war. Every imaginable means have been resorted to w instigate him to projects contrary to his own opinion. At tempts were made even by money to seduce those who surrounded him. " it was the Minister Zechy who rendered this' bad service to Austria and the Archduke Charles. It was frequently repeated to this Prince, that France had tew troops to oppose an aggression, and that a war presented such infallible results, that it was dif ficult to contend, by his own presentiments, against those argutnents , repeated around him with so much perseverance.. It is still, however, with regret that he made war against France. " Ou the day atter the battle of Ratisbon, he ma nifestel a desire for peace, and he has persisted in it ever since. After the armistice of Znatin he re signed the command, because he then saw that all the avenues to the Court were shut against the truth by the game men whom &static' retains in her pay, and who obtain their livelihood by retailing the lies, and disseminating the illusions, which that 1 .Power, the Enemy of Europe, has so much interest 1 in p ro pagating. - , SEPT. 23.—There remain : ahcut 130 sail of toe enemy hefore Flushing..

Consols -, 68ki THE SUN. SOLES 4 QUIS DICER!: lALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDO . N, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1809. We have very little tn'add to "the • information which we yesterday laid before our Readers respeet . ing the new Ministerial arrangements. The successor . to Mr. CANNING is not yet positively named, but;„ we believe that Lord HARROWBY will be appointed] to that office. We expressed a wish yesterday that: Ml'. W. POLE might succeed Mr..R. DoNDAs in , the Secretaryship for Ireland, and .we are happy' to find that our wish is likely to be gratified. We can take - u'pon' us to say s that the Opposition Papers have greatly misreptesented what has recently Occurred between the present Ministry and the Lords GRENV“..LE and GatT. The former stated pOsi- 1 tivelyi --in - his answer to Mr. PERCEVAL, that his obje4lions w,..re not personal, but -to the principle upon -which the -present Ministry were formed,. • avid. the 'ciecumstanees attending their' W power. This declaration plain ly proves that it was not merely an objection to form athaccession with the present Ministry, or to co-operate with them in forming a new ar rangement, but to the whole of their sys tem; and hence, that if Lord QIIENVILLE were to come into power again, he would revive every measure that led to his retirement. , The Let ter of LOKI GRENVILLE imports that he considered the communication as coming from his Majesty. Lord GREY on the qt her hand, as we have, before stated, considered it as a Ministerial communication. His Lordship's letter, as well as that of Lord GREN VILLE, was couched in the-most 'civil and respeaful terms. We have received German Papers to the 23d ult. but they add very little to our information respeaing the state of the Negociation. They contain, indeed a Proclamation from the Emperor of AUSTRIA, which by no means breathes the language of despondency; 94 Abecontrary, there is a spirit of firmness and indepen dence throughout the whole of it; which proves that the Emperor FRANCIS is determined again to try the fortune of arms rather than submit to . disgraceful and humiliating terms.. Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Dukes of SUSSEX and CUMBERLAND, Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, accompanied by Lord WALsiNotrAst, Lady ELY, General FITZROY, and Colonel TAYLOR, rode in Windsor Great Park, and retit rued at twelve. Yesterday, at halt past one, o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which sat till past five, at which were present the LORD CHAN CELLOR, - Earls CAMDEN, LIVERPOOL, CHATHAM, 1-IARROWEY,WESTMORLAND, and BATHURST, Lords MuLORAvv. and LEVESON GOWER, and the .

PETEIMWROIS, SEPT. 6.—The negociations for Peace still continue in Fredricksham ; Count Ro rirANzow has been there upwards of four weeks. Baron SiILINGK is indisposed, and the Danish Am bassador at this Court, Baron BLOME, has set out . • . for Freidrichsharmn to take an active share ,in the negociations. Count SC EIEUVA LTu, who. command ed our forces in Sweden with so much success hav ing been seized with a severe fit of illness, the Com mand in Chief has devolved on Gen. KA 14 ENSKA son of the Field-Marshal of that name, who was lately murdered by one of his servants. According to authentic information received from our army in Moldavia, our, troops crossed the Da nube is the 25th of July. General SASS advanced thereupon on the . 30th, against the Castle. of Isakt shi, from whence the Turks retreated to the fortress of Tultska, which, however,, was also abandoned by the enemy, and taken possession of by our troops. Lieut.-Gen. PLAToc+►, on the Rd of last month, took possess:on of Badad, The Turks saved theni selves by flight, leaving behind 2",2 pieces of cannon, and a quantity of stores and provisions. In' consequence of our troops having possessed themselves of the fortress of Tul ska, our two flotillas, which were stationedsnear Galaptid, at the mouth of the Danube, have formed a junction, and the isle of Tshatal is also occupied by our troops. The head;quarters were removed on the lith of August, from Galaz :16 the apposite banks of the Danube,.nnd a' camp has been formed near th mouth. of the Bay of Molshint. On.the Bth of last month ititeiigence . ‘Va's received of the death of Yield-Mar— stial Count PIIOSbROWSKI., Commander in Chief of our tortes on.the , ainube, who is succeeded in that command s. by Prince BRAGRA.THION, General of _ln- fantry. . . Connt'SfiDint4 still continues at the head of the departinent of Foreign Affairs ; a late report of his . • g givenhaVin in his resignation to the Emperor of Austria is therefore unfounded. In consequence of several. Masters of lonian ships in Constantinople having put themselves in a state of insurreaion against the EMPeror of the French, under the pro teaion of the English AnihassadOii, and hoisted the 'colours of the former Republic of the Seven I,lands, their estates in their native country have been con* fisCated.—(Corresponderiten, of 2Qd Sept.) BRUGES, SEPT. 12.—Letters from Hooft PlaqP, near Breskens state, that on the loth of this mouth,. several Er”.• , li'sh frigates stationed between Walcbe ren and South Beveland, fired about 50 shot again st the point of the latter island. The English prob tbij intended to prevent the batteries being co:till-060d on thatpoint. MUNICti, SEPT ? 10.-Our Gazette contains th following article from the Tyrol : • - • • " Since the retreat, nothing of importance appear; to have happened. The corps of General licscx occupied on the 7th of last month Linzen, Paster daie, and has probably moved to Klagenfurt!). '" HOFER, the chief of the insurgents, and formerly an innkeeper in Pusterdale, when be entered Inspruck issued a Proclamation; whereby, among other things, he exhorts the women of every rank and description not to expose so mutt) of their bosoms and arms as they are accustomed to do, on pain of their being covered in a manner rather un pleasant. This proclamation is signed. AND/iitvr HOFER, Commander in Chief in the - Tyrol." 11l tated Tyrol, says the above Gazette, is at present cut off, as it were, from the rest of the world; business of every description is,p• rteetly at a stand, and a great scarcity of provisions prevails throughout the "country on the side of Switzerland , The rigour of the measures adopted against tine Ty" rolese has at last been Much incrtsed, and whmver supplies them with gunpoWder, or any other ammu nition, is to be tried by a criminal tribunal. Tho : cordon of neutrality, formed along the frontiers' does not even permit physicians and surgeons to ei) - ter the Voralberg or Tyrol from the Grisons, Or any other part of Switzerland. • . . VIENNA, SEPT. 7.—Our Gaz:Ate contains the following article : " Count IstisaNEESHEW, Adjutant to his Majesty ' the Emperor of RUSSIA, arrived four days since vfitli dispatches from the Emperor ALEXANDER, at the head-qUarters of his Majesty the Emperor NAro .
